    As many have said, there is actually a third reason... But, on top of that, your reasoning for "not worrying" about the second reason is terrible. Backing up anything other than videos can never be enough. The more redundancy, the better! You really should add a true backup strategy for that alone.

    We also just rolled out something like a "Trash" folder. If you accidentally delete a page, it will still be there for you to recover.

    I’ve successful built a site that I’m really pleased with in Squarespace. All good, and am about to pull the trigger on a subscription.
    However, I’m very concerned that there appears to be no way of backing up the site, and information on backups seems to be really sketchy.
    I’d really appreciate some info here, grateful for any pointers.
    Thanks

    There are two reasons I can think of someone might want to backup their site:
    1. To maintain the freedom to switch platforms.
    You own your data on Squarespace and you can export it at any time. Just go to the Import / Export area of the config and you'll see a button like the one in the top right of this image. This keeps a backup of your data, not the site as a whole.

    2. To restore the site if you ever need to.
    You don't have to worry about backing up your site for this reason.
    I think a good analogy for non-managed hosts vs. Squarespace is the difference between a desktop computer and something like, say, Google Drive or Dropbox. With the former you are in charge of updates, backups, and other systems tasks. With the latter those things are taken care of for you.
    Squarespace is a managed service and, like Dropbox or Google Drive, we don't want our customers to have to worry about backing up their sites, updating software, or any other tasks that are better handled by an engineer.
